Katatumba’s lawyers from Mulindwa Associates & CO. Advocates wrote on May 10, 2018 to the company’s management of their client’s intention to sue should the company fail to pay the Shs1b within a week.
“It is within your knowledge and public domain that our client was battered by your company’s staff Olubrwoth Choka Rodgers, Okiror Denis and Kaddu John on the 1stday of April 2018 during the course of their duty at I Feel Like Chicken Tonight Kabalagala Branch and also stole her money worth Shs6.2 million,” the letter reads in part.

The lawyers say their client-Angella Katatumba upon examination by IHK medics was found to have developed post-concussion syndrome, anterior Hyphema and erythema around the left eye.
As a result, the lawyers say Angella is undergoing anti-convulsant therapy to be reviewed monthly for an estimated two years.
They add that Katatumba intends to travel abroad for further management of her illness and to rule out any defects.
“This is therefore to demand Shs1,000,000,000…in compensation and damages plus our legal fees…within 7 days from the date hereof,” wrote Katatumba’s lawyers.
Three employees of the Chicken Tonight outlet are already out of Luzira prison have been granted bail by the Makindye Chief Magistrate Elias Kakooza.
